HI Michelle, Thank you for the list of ways to set up motivation for students. These are very good. The problem that comes up with many instructors is that they don't know how to do some of the things on the list. For example they really don't know what it means to “be funny”. They make think it is to tell a joke, wear wild clothes, etc. When in fact with some in-service they can learn to use humor in the classroom effectively. This same example can be applied to any on the list. Coming from business and industry many instructors have not developed their presentation skills so they aren't sure how to do and be the things on the list. I would suggest that they be mentored by a veteran instructor that the school recognizes as being an excellent teacher. This way the new teacher can receive instruction and support on how to be a better teacher without feeling threatened. Do you have some examples of how you work with your instructors developing their expertise in the areas you listed? Thanks Gary
